    A properly executed purchase order constitutes a contract which is binding on the college and the vendor. The vice president for finance and business affairs, director of procurement services, and designated procurement officers are the only persons authorized to bind Winthrop University. Vendors are cautioned not to accept verbal orders without receiving a purchase order number from the person placing the order. The university will not be responsible for orders received without a valid purchase order. Failure to follow these procedures will result in delayed payments or the return of material to the vendor.
